Yes, it is smail.  I will open it up.
Is there any danger of a spammers using my MTA
as a spam relay?

$ dnsdomainname
comcast.net
$ hostname
a1700xp

So I have my machine and my ISP name.
The machine is on my private lan with a router
and NAT keeping me safe from the ISP the internet.
I wonder if my dnsdomainname should be the ISP name (or localdomain
or an IP number)
since I am in my user private IP address range 192.168.2.X .
Is that the correct dnsdomainname for my setup?

I've got the default knoppix debian linux file
called:
$ view /etc/smail/config
